Leica Geosystems has released a cloud solution to integrate, manage and analyse surveying and control workflows for heavy construction projects: ConX will increase efficiency and reduce downtime, the company says
Airware, a commercial drone solutions provider, has acquired Redbird, a France-based pioneer in drone data analytics that has been working closely with Caterpillar.
Redbird focuses on the mining, quarrying, and construction industries through sophisticated geospatial analytics which will be integrated into the Airware Aerial Information Platform. This will give customers the combined power of Redbird's industry-specific analytics and Airware's enterprise-focused workflow, compliance, and security feature
The construction industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by rising fuel prices, economic pressure, work safety and lack of qualified operators.
Case CE is offering revamped graders that feature increased performance in the shape of its latest 836C and 856C models. Power comes from diesels supplied by sister firm FPT Industrial, which deliver high power and torque for low fuel consumption and feature proven and patented SCR after-treatment technology to deliver low emissions. As the engines have no Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), this reduces complexity and helps to cuts running costs, while they meet the Tier 4 Final requirements.
